Abstract
Extracorporeal blood flow circuit devices can be used during medical procedures such as on-pump open-heart surgery. For example, extracorporeal heat exchange and oxygenation devices can be used to facilitate surgical procedures such as coronary artery bypass grafting. In some embodiments, such an oxygenation device can include an integrated air removal structure. In particular embodiments, the air removal structure can comprise one or more porous hollow fibers.
